Situated between Montpellier and Avignon, near the old Roman town of Nîmes in the south of France, the Nîmes Campagne course was opened in June 1970, following an inaugural match involving Jean Garaialde, Martin Ado, Roger Cotton and Tito Lassalle.

Designed by Léonard Morandi and Donald Harradine – who is also credited with the construction or remodeling of other French courses like Chaumont-en-Vexin, Saint-Maxime and Divonne – the 18-hole layout measures 6,750 yards with a par of 72.

Routed through 130 acres of a heavily wooded estate, the course is laid out over a gently undulating landscape. One of the best holes on the outward half is the par five 3rd which doglegs to the right and features a large oak tree in the middle of the fairway. The pick of the holes on the back nine is the 400-yard, par four, 18th where a small pond has to be negotiated to the front right of the small green.

The clubhouse also deserves a mention as it is a magnificent stately home built by a former owner in 1902 as a miniature replica of the White House in Washington – quite some place to have as a 19th hole!

I have played a lot of very good courses around the world over the years ,but this little gem remains about as good as it gets i think...Not long buy modern standards but from the back tees a test for any golfer ,tight tree lined fairways, small well protected greens are smooth and fast but buy no means easy..loved this course the first time played it and returned many times since and it seems to get better over time...if you get a chance give this little gem a go you WILL be supprised....
